- No users, because of two things:
- Many apps do not work without Desktop enabled. This is far
worse than it sounds, because most newbies try managed non-desktop first. People think WINE should be able to do seemless intergration. Then when an application hangs, they think it's incompatible and give up. However in many cases the Application will work fine in Desktop mode. BAD, these apps should either be made to work... or non-desktop mode should be removed!
wierd, I basically never have theese problems, even in cases where the AppDB says it's an issue... what apps need this right now?
One example is the Australian E-Tax program mentioned recently - it'll hang on the splashscreen when no Desktop window exists (download: http://www.enderboi.com/misc/etax2002_1.exe)
Another example is setup programs for things like Internet Explorer, Microsoft Visual Studio. They'll crash out or just generally not work if various programs (_INSxxx._MP for example) are not set to use Desktop. I believe the QuickTimeInstaller suffers from the same problem, as well as several other bits of software I've tried using recently..
